Met with the Team Jesus Motorsports (teamjesusmotorsports.net) people today. They will be coordinating the food pick up and delivery this weekend. Special thanks to their help!
We had a tragedy today with one of the Indy Car team members. He was notified this morning that his son had died overnight back in Indianapolis. Bob met with him for a little while after the notification and his team manager immediately made arrangements for him to be flown back to Indy. I drove him from the track back to his hotel and then to the airport to catch his flight. We sometimes never know why some things happen. We need to continually trust God in all situations. Keep the faith. Pray without ceasing. Know that God will never leave us or forsake us.
Pray for this team member that God will provide, heal, comfort, and be present in this difficult time.

The INDYCAR Ministry and my Involvement
The Indy Car Ministry provides chapel services at each track where the Indy Car, Indy Lights, Pro Mazda Championship, and USF2000 series race. Chapel services include Christian music, Holy Communion, prayer, and a biblical message. We provide prayer and counseling support to drivers and team members. Bible studies are also provided at some of the race shops.

About Me

My Racing History
I started working part time in 1999 with Hemelgarn Racing by helping at the Indianapolis 500. I was part of the IRL team at Hemelgarn when they won the championship title in 2000. I have worked part time with various other teams including Panther Racing, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, Racing Professionals, and Vision Racing. My main responsibilities have included pit setup and tire management. The past couple of years, along with tire management, I went over the wall as the fueler for Ed Carpenter and the jack man for Jeff Bucknum, John Herb, and Davey Hamilton. Other drivers I have worked with include Johnny Unser, Buddy Lazier, Richie Hearn, and Josh Wise.

Future INDYCAR Ministry Vision
- Reach out to team members by providing Bible studies at the race shops on a regular basis.
- Establish relationships with leaders in churches located in the vicinity of all tracks on the INDYCAR schedule.
- Use show car and use existing Indy Car simulators to promote the INDYCAR Ministry.
- Obtain funding for INDYCAR Ministry transporter to be used at local area churches and tracks to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The transporter features would include room to haul show car and simulators. It would have a stage and an outdoor sound system for Christian music and driver interviews. The transporter may have a portable high definition big screen for Christian and racing media promotion.

INDYCAR Ministry Purpose Statement
The INDYCAR Ministry is a 501c3 not-for-profit, non-denominational Christian organization, which was developed to pastor the racing community. We will achieve this by attending racing venues, by being available for counsel and encouragement and by providing for the spiritual and emotional needs of this community. We will strive to be consistent in our approach and creative in our witness. Our overall objective is to see lives changed, spiritual relationships strengthened, and to bring honor and glory to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
My Mission Statement
2 Corinthians 5:16-21 (NIV)
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
